A beast, great review, by the way, it has Coil Whine? it makes use of all VRAM?
Hi Jesús. Thanks! Glad you liked the review. The sample we got doesn’t have any coil whine issues. As for VRAM, it depends on the game you are playing. It’s usually just around 3GB, or less. Haven’t tested it on 4K yet.
Thank you very much, I’ll buy it on amazon, hopefully it arrives in perfect conditions, because I’m from Venezuela…
